Project description
Formal modelling and optimal traffic management for GNSS based moving block systems
EU-funded PERFORMINGRAIL aims to delineate, through formal modelling and optimal traffic management, a moving block railway signalling using advanced GNSS based train positioning approaches that mitigate potential hazards in the diverse market segments. The project implements a holistic system approach to address the challenges for the moving block and virtual coupling concepts in terms of safe operational principles and specifications, reliable train integrity monitoring, TIM technologies, safe GNSS based train localisation and optimised traffic management algorithms. The main objectives of the project are to enhance and verify existing specifications for moving block signalling, while developing formal models, algorithms and proof of concepts to test and validate an integrated future moving block system architecture that will provide safe and effective operational performances.
